This plugin will copy the current record IDs in a Gedcom file to either the Custom ID, Automated ID or a UDF value. This is useful if you have used the numbers from the originating program for physical filing or in other add on systems.
It is designed to work on a Gedcom File PRIOR to opening the file in Family Historian. Family Historian will only renumber imported records, if the record ids are non numeric or very long.
This can then be used if needed to cross reference the old numbers, should Family Historian need to renumber.
To use, please open the sample Project or “another” Project, then run the program and select your gedcom file.
DO NOT open your gedcom file in Family Historian before running the plugin to retain the old numbers. The plugin will create a new gedcom file in the same folder as the original with -new added to the end of the file name.
